A Surprising Improvement.

We are in a position to state that the
county of Durham viii shortly produce a
startling economic improvement in the mat
ter of fuel combustion and the heating of
steam boilers. Protection has been obtained
for the invention, and in the course of short
time we shall be in position to lay before
our readers the practical details In the
meantime we can only in the most general
terms foreshadow the nature of the results at
tainable. The cubic bulk Of fuel that will
henceforth be required for marine steam en-
gines will be reduced by 20 per cent, giving
a gain to the extent indicated by that proper
ton to the stowage space for cargo in ocean
going steamships. The time for raising steam
will be diminished in all steam boilers, station
airy or marine, by at least two-thirds. The
cost of fuel consumption will be reduced by
more than one-half, and the production of
smoke will be absolutely annihilated. The
process has been made the subject of actual
experimental demonstration. Every test has
been applied. The results we have given
above are the understated consequences of
experiments made under circumstances the
reverse of favorable to the invention.-Eng-

SPANS National odor.

remember charming French friend of
mine, who used now and again to give him
self a treat of gigot stuffed with garlic; after
which meal he would drink few glasses of
talla, smoke a cigarette or two of corporal,
and then call upon me and invariably kiss
me- His breath was altar of roses or es-
sence of bouquet compared to the person of
an average Spaniard. By an extravagant
and continuous consumption of garlic these
people, men and women, get it into their
skins. From their skins it passes into their
clothes, so that they walk about in small
personal atmosphere of garlic indescribably
sickly and sickening.
A Spanish gentleman remarked to me one
day in Madrid salon, while praising Eng
lish women, their beauties, virtues, etc
There is only one fault detected in them

Spanish lady's hand / smell that delicious

soft, does not absolutely smell of anything

Mr.. Pincree,s Speculation.

An Augusta lumberTnan tells the following
story of Sam Smith, one of the best Known
lumbermen in the Penobscot region forty
years ago, and who knew about all there was
to be known of the Maine forest. Smith
failed and was eft without cent. He dis
appeared soon after and for eight months
was not heard from. One day he appeared
in Bangor in threadbare and ragged suit of
clothes, with an old white hat on his head
and general air of depression. There was
a big land sale that day in which eleven
townships. all-heavily wooded, were sold by
the state. A pool had been formed by a
party of long headed lumbermen to buy the
land for song. One of them suggested that
Sam Smith be invited to join the number,
but the rest laughed at the idea of taking a
street loafer-what would be called tramp
nowadays-into their counsels-
The bidding began, all of the offers being
ridiculously low. A smile went round the
company as Smith lounged up and bid
slightly above the others. "Let it go,n said
the pool men; 'he can't pay q dollar" The
eleven townships were accordingly knocked
down to him But Sam very soon showed
them that he had the best of the joke. From
an inside pocket of his old coat he pulled out
the $4,000 required to be paid down, and
offered to pay more. This placed him on his
feet again. 1t afterward transpired that
Dave Pingree, of Salem, was backing him
and they realized over 81 ,000, 900 ON the lum

Cook, whom Gen. Grant made governor Of
Colorado territory, would be surprised at the
change that time has wrought In his appear

him. He strolled through the Hoffman cafe
yesterday, and though the strong physique,

Poll Tax on Foreigners.

There is some reason to believe, judging
from the tone of Novoe Vremya and other
leading Russian journals, that the tax on
foreign residents in Russia, which these
journals so strongly advocate, may shortly be
introduced by the government. A report is
current that this tax will be fixed at $50 gold
rubles per annum, which makes about 255
rubles in the ordinary currency, or about
EOS. The effect of such an impost would of
course be to drive out of the country the more
skilled and industrious artisans of foreign
nationalities. Like the foreign passport tax,
it will act as another check to Russias foreign
commerce. If such tax were limited to the
heads of foreign houses and agencies in Rus
STA, there could be little or no objection to it.
The English principals of such houses would,
/ am sure, agree in the justice of limited
measure of this description; but it is ex-
tremely short sighted to make it so sweeping
in its application. Odessa Cor. London News.

THE WOMAN WHO soRROWS.
Few Neighborhoods are Free from Her
She "Never Thinks"

Few NeighborhoOds are Free from Her
She Never Thinks
The woman borrower flourishes in nearly
all stations and conditions of life, and few
neighborhoods are free from her. She seems
to live with the idea that any ones and every
ones possessions are legitimately hers, for a
time at least, and borrows promiscuously
from all 1t does not matter TO her what the
article is, or of what value it may be to the
owner, if she thinks she ought to have it. IL
told that the article wanted is a relic, of which
you think great deal, owing to being a gift
or a reminder of some old association, and
you do not like to lend it to any one, she will
smooth it all over.with, "Tn be so careful of
it; / won't harm it in the least" She over
comes all your little excuses with her prom
Uses of carefulness, and goes away happy in
the possession of the article, while you are in
a continual worry until its return.
If brought back safely, you are very
thankful, for it was hardly what you ex-
pected, but if anything happens to it, there
is nothing to be done but to accept her
apology.
She tells you she is sincerely sorry that
anything should have happened TO it, and, if
the article was something that it was neces-
sary for her to have, you excuse her willingly;
but usually this is not the case, for it ia
something That Sne does not nee0- unless rOf
ornamentation, and you can't help thinking
that she might have done without it. An
accident of this kind would deter most wo-
men from borrowing from the same person
again, but not so with the woman borrower;
she is ready to borrow the very next
day from the same person, providing
she has anything that she may want
She never thinks that people may not
wish to loan some things, yet will often do so,
really against their Judgment, rather than
refuse, thinking a refusal might hurt her
feelings. She is always one of the best ma
tured people among your acquaintance, and
really sincere when she says, you are
welcome to anything / have, am sure" but
she seldom has anything you want.
Borrowing Is all very well when it neces-
sary, and frequently the best of housekeepers
has to borrow from her neighbors She has
| forgotten to order some article that she cam
not get along without, the store may be at a
| distance, or she cannot go, and has no one to
| do the same errand for her, SO the best she
| can do is to borrow from a neighbor She
| goes to the woman borrower, and that person
remarks: 81 was just going over to your
house for that same thing" The neighbor
says: "Oh, never mind, III get it of Mrs
- and she can't help thinking, docs she
| have anything!"
| There is one thing that the woman Dor.
| rover never borrows, and for which she
| should be commended She never borrows
| trouble. She only makes it little easier fol-
| her neighbors to borrow that commodity.

The mail sometimes presents unexpected
advantages over the telegraph in stock specu-
lations. A gentleman of this city who had
made a large investment in certain western
enterprise took a trip to look over the prop
erty on the ground. He was not particu-
larry pleased with his inspection, and made
up his mind to sell out quietly. Being SUR
rounded by the promoters of the enterprise,
he preferred to trust his directions to the
mail rather than the wire, as the stick" in the
local office might be read, and the letter GER
tainly could not be perused in transit by any
to whom its instructions would convey any
meaning. The letter took four or five days to
reach Boston, and in that time the stock had
taken skyrocket flight. The broker sold al
once, and the result of the transaction was an
enormous profit to the absent investor, more
than ten times what he would have cleared
had he sent his order by telegraph. How
ever, it will not do to jump at the conclusion
that delay is any the less dangerous In the
stock market than elsewhere. Boston Tran.
